Ingredients:
Syrup Ingredients:
¾ cup apple cider
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup corn syrup
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
½ tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Pancake Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs, separated
1 cup milk
½ cup canned pumpkin
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
Directions:
In a saucepan, combine syrup ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until slightly thickened. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
For pancakes, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolk, milk, pumpkin and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, fold into the batter.
Pour batter by ¼ cupfuls onto a hot greased griddle or skillet. Turn when bubbles form on the top of the pancakes. Cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with warm syrup.
ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup butter
2 Tbsp honey
1 cup chopped pecans
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut into ½ inch slices
2 cups chopped ham
6 eggs, beaten
1 2/3 cups milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Directions:
Combine brown sugar and honey in a 1 qt saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until sugar melts (2 – 3 minutes). Pour into ungreased 13 X 9 in baking pan. Sprinkle with pecans. Top with half of the bread slices; sprinkle with ham.
Combine eggs, milk and vanilla in a large bowl; beat until well mixed. Dip remaining bread slices in egg mixture on one side only. Place over ham, dipped side down. Pour remaining egg mixture over bread slices.
Combine sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl; sprinkle over top. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 350°. Bake, uncovered, 50 – 55minutes or until golden brown and a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes. Cut into 8 servings. Invert onto serving plates. Serve with maple syrup if desired.
ingredients:
2 eggs
1 TBSP water
salt ¼ tsp
pepper dash
Directions:
Whisk eggs, water, salt and pepper in a bowl.
Heat 6 inch omelette pan (or heavy bottomed, non stick sauté pan), add 2 TBSP butter. Add egg mixture and let cook 30-40 seconds. Using a rubber scraper, pull the cooked edges towards the center, and let the uncooked egg slide into its place on the bottom. When there is no more runny egg remaining, just a little custardy top, remove from heat. With a rubber scraper, flip one side over the middle of itself as you tip the pan back up and slip the omelette onto a plate.
The nice thing about making an omelette is that even if it does not turn out right, it will still taste good!
Western Omelette (often called Denver omelette)
Add diced ham, green peeper, onion and cheese.
Flavored Omelettes
A flavoring is added to the beaten eggs before they are cooked. Flavorings can include herbs, meats, potatoes and cream.
Filled Omelettes
These are the most well known. A filling is spread on the eggs that have been partially cooked, then folded and served.
Garnished Omelettes
These are filled omelettes with a twist. A garnish is usually placed on top of the omelette or tucked into the fold. A ribbon of sauce can surround them and sometimes a slit will be cut into the omelette and some of the sauce spooned into it.
Flat Omelettes
Similar to Italy’s frittata and Spain’s tortilla, these omelettes are cooked for a longer time and turned over in the pan halfway through the cooking process. They are not folded.
Open-face Omelettes
The eggs are mixed with the fillings before adding them to the pan. No folding or flipping over is required. They are sometimes finished briefly under the broiler.
